Technical View:

SBIN is one of the biggest PSU bank in India. It is trading in Higher – Highs and Higher – Lows formation above its long term as well as short term moving averages on daily charts. It has been trading in a congestion zone (400-442 levels) for past one month. On Aug 3, 2021, It has witnessed bullish breakout from the above mentioned congestion zone.

Going ahead, we expect it to continue its northward journey. Hence, we suggest to go lsong in SBIN as we expect it test 530 levels in near term.

Summary

Considering both the factors fundamental & technical parameter, we recommend a ‘BUY’ in SBIN at current level for the target price of Rs. 530 with close below stop loss of Rs. 408.
